Remember this fuckery? They passed the original head tax unanimously then repealed it 7-2 a month later. (Then passed JumpStart a year later.) Every councilmember who voted to repeal will be out of public office next year (except Juarez who was appointed to fill D5 seat go figure)

HON is honored that our Co-ED @tiffanimc.bsky.social is one of the transition co-chair for Mayor-Elect @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social! This is the result of our collective organizing for four years, pushing for social housing when so many believed it wasn't possible. 💕

![BUSINESSSMAN: Fellow business leaders, for the first time in 12 years we're locked out of the mayor's office. However.
-We sent a deep cover operative into the Transit Riders Union to expose our new mayor’s hidden agenda. Meet Kyle.
KYLE: For 6 months I lived on a barista's wages in a market-rate apartment. I traveled only by bike or bus.
-In that time the most important thing I learned was this:
-You people made the city into a meatgrinder for the working class and you must be stopped
[businesspeople aghast]
[two men grab Kyle by the arms as he struggles]
-Oh my god they flipped Kyle!
-Get him out of here!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:carj4mhaflwfubqzioy5wxl3/bafkreibpcytzm7jwvyaeson5ywvej7dgxxnt3brviwvzqmlrpat2jrj4bi@jpeg)

-Or perhaps- [CURBY appears as an apparition]

When you ask voters to choose between corporate profits and protecting our neighbors – it’s not even close. This year, Seattle voters chose the tax corporations to fund social housing (63%) and to pass the Seattle Shield Initiative to protect our neighbors (71%). Let’s keep it going!
